Which browser do you like using the most? I thought Google Chrome was pretty awesome till I noticed that it doesn't load Disqus comments (the comment website used by IGN and many other websites) :D

I used to use internet explorer as well but that's given me numerous problems espicially using this forum where all the pictures just become white boxes with red 'x's in them.

What browsers do you like to use?

Chrome ftw. Never had any problems with it, and I don't think I ever will. Disqus works just fine for me. I'm on the beta branch of the program, and it's still more stable than any other browser I've ever used.

Internet Explorer is crap and full of problems unless you're using version 9. Even 9 is mostly ripped off of Chrome.

Opera, the single greatest browser out there.

And you claim IE copied Chrome, but I'm pretty sure Chrome copied Opera; Opera invented most of the modern Browser staples, such as tabbed browsing, saving browsing sessions, private browsing, speed dial, Opera Turbo (which loads things faster on slower connections), mouse gestures, an integrated download manager and pinned browsing, to name a few.

At least, I'm pretty sure they made most of those. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about anything, but be prepared for me to prove myself right :D

I use a mix of Internet Explorer (9) and Google Chrome. IE9 for 90% of things and Chrome for watching Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series. I also sometimes use it when I need to google a lot. Niether offer searching on the page, though, which makes me miss IE7.

Opera, I used Google Chrome and loved it. But since a while back it hasn't been loading any pages at all. I used IE8 for a while, but I get red boxes with a x everytime I look at minecraft screenshots of texturepacks.

Opera is just lovely.

In the past I've used all of the main browsers, and Chrome is my favourite by far. It's the browser I use all the time now.

In my room, I have my own computer which has IE, Safari, Chrome, and Firefox. IE is too slow for me. Safari is what I'm using right now. Chrome is perfect that is, until I get to this website and view a thread, then half the screen is black. Posted Image Firefox always says this- "The proxy server is refusing connections. Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections." So I'm stuck with using Safari for my computer, in my room.

I also have another computer, which is the main computer because everyone uses it. It has Google Chrome and Internet Explorer, of course I would use Chrome because it is the best.

Try Opera. I still haven't heard of a feature that Chrome has that Opera doesn't.

Disqus comments work sometimes but its not consistent, I even saw a thread about them not working on the Google help forum so I know I'm not the only one.

I use Google Chrome. I like how there is basically nothing but a URL bar, and necessary buttons like back, forward, refresh up top. It just has this clean feeling to it.

I agree with Auzzie. I love the "instant" feature in Chrome which allows you to see pages faster.

Wow, so far the results of this poll... Are completely not what I expected O.o
I thought there would mostly be Firefoxes, with an equal amount of Opera and Chrome, while having little Safari or IE...

Clearly I underestimated the influence google has :)

It depends what it is that I'm doing, every browser has problems for me. For my day to day browsing I use Google Chrome, for watching things on 40d or bbciplayer I use internet explorer and on my phone I use Opera.

I'd have to disagree with you here, Google Chrome FTW. It is fast, and easy to use.

Opera has Opera Turbo and has an easy-on-the-eye interface.
